Valentinte's Day is on it's way!

Happy New Year! I hope 2013 will be a year filled with good things, good health, good food, good friends and Love for you.

Speaking of Love, that special day to celebrate will be here in the blink of an eye. Here's some cool finds to give your ideas a jump start:


This wonderful ArtFire collection was curated by Candy Apple Crafts .
 Stop by and see all the cool things in their shop.

I was lucky enough to be included in the collection with my
 Love Valentine's Day card.
My Valentine's Day card is reproduced from my original mixed media.
  I used acrylic paints, tissue paper and ink with stamps. The inside reads: 
"On Valentine's Day I want you to know, I love you dearly."

The card is professionally printed and ships from the printing company.
Please allow 5 to 7 days for delivery.


I'm back in the studio with lots of projects after spending some down time with DH over in Bellingham, WA. What a lovely place!
We did some shopping, some sight seeing and sampling of restaurants
in between the rain showers and had lots of fun.

Now that I'm back to working in the studio...
 will be finishing the plein air snow scene painting
I started before Christmas and share that soon.
I'm also starting a new painted pictorial quilt and will share as it develops.
The one I made before Christmas I was telling you about
 in a previous post, can't be shown, as I accidentally erased the
 images in the camera  before downloading them to my computer.
Typical me. Geesh! I've asked the recipient to send me a photo of it.
But not to worry as I'm making another one of the same.

Here are a few photos that did make it from the camera:

Adding the texture in the middle with French Knots...



Sunflower petals...



 
Little flowers at the bottom in the grass for texture...



 Big paper flowers for fun!



The quilt was inspired by my Sunflower oil painting:




That's all for now....more Musings another day ~
Until then, less computer time and more studio time,
acting upon inspiration as soon as it strikes,
is my mantra for 2013!
